Apartment was so nice we did not really use the rest of the complex. Everything was PERFECT, from booking to the minute we were dropped off back at the airport.

Stunning Penthouse

Mandy, Cumbria, United Kingdom

This penthouse apartment was stunning, well-furnished and had everything we needed. Large L-shaped balcony with both sun and shade; loungers, recliners, table and chairs. The kitchen was well-equipped and the apartment spacious all around with air conditioning in the bedroom and living room. The TV had various cable/digital channels. The area is lovely and the location brilliant with beautiful beaches and a Marina.

September 2016

We really enjoyed our stay. This is our 9th year in a row booking through Algarve Getaways and our 4th staying in the Encosta de Orada complex. We were very happy with the apartment and service provided to us. Even with a minor plumbing issue, staff were easy to contact and came to fix the problem straight away. The view was absolutely unbelievable and the complex is very close to the Old Town and Marina. Highly recommended.

Carmen, Bangor, Ireland

October 2014

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Algarve Getaways. This our second year in a row staying in the Encosta de Orada complex. We very much enjoyed our stay last year and therefore came back to the same place but a different apartment. We were very happy with the apartment and service provided to us. Even with a minor shower problem, staff were easy to contact and came to fix the problem straight away. The view was absolutely beautiful and the complex is very close to the Old Town and Marina. Highly recommended.

Excellent apartment and pool

Frank, Swindon, United Kingdom

August 2014

The apartment and the swimming pool were excellent. The pictures do not do the apartment justice. The local team was on hand to meet us on arrival and run through a few things we needed to know about the apartment. Our holiday was very good, from booking to arriving back at the airport.

A wonderful holiday experience

Denis, Dundee, United Kingdom

Service by Algarve Getaways was first class. The apartment was ideal, very spacious, huge balcony with great views set in lovely surrounding gardens and pool. All in all it was one fo the best apartments and complexes I have stayed in over the years and there have been many.

Great service, apartment and complex. Nice touch that we received coffee, milk and even wine on arrival, would definitely recommend.

Apartment a high standard, security a nice bonus

Nicky, Belfast, Ireland

May 2013

The apartment was very clean, well presented and furnished to a very high standard. The security of the apartment blocks was a nice bonus. It was a short walk to the main area of the town where there was an array of shops, bars and restaurants. I would holiday at this particular apartment again.

Simply First Class

Alan, Doonlea, United Kingdom

August 2012

The penthouse apartment was superb. The complex and facilities suited our family group perfectly. We had 4 apartments in total. Group comprised our sons and daughter, their partners and our 3 young grandchildren. All had a wonderful time, particularly making full use of the 2 large pools. First class airport transfers. The Algarve Getaways staff were both efficient and friendly, giving us all the information we needed. We did not need to call on their services after arriving but knew they were at the end of the phone if needed. Simply first class, will definitely use you again when returning to the Algarve.

We had the best holiday

Samantha, Harrogate, United Kingdom

September 2009

We had a fantastic holiday, everything was perfect from the apartment to the weather to the gorgeous pool. The complex was fantastic, in a great location with lovely views. The whole booking process was easy. We don't usually return to a holiday destination as we prefer to go to different places but we are seriously thinking about coming back next year as we had such a good time!

Fantastic - the best we have stayed in

Mark & Karen, Poole, United Kingdom

August 2009

We had a wonderful holiday in the Algarve. The apartment was fantastic – we both felt the best we had stayed in – it was immaculate, very well equipped and an incredible setting. The apartment complex was really nice, very clean, always quiet and the pool was great for the children particularly the children’s shallow one. We would without a doubt use Algarve Getaways again, you were fantastic.
